Reason. The default in packaging switched to the wayland session.

Plasma/KDE decided it should be the default a long time ago and the X11 session has been in maintenance mode ever since.

As far as I understand it, it’s more of a push to wayland by default and not about harming x11 users. I for one would like to avoid having kwin-x11 pushed to my system.

It’s up to the distro maintainers to package it for the distros. Not the software developer. I see it’s available in the AUR, so it’s not only available as a flatpak. So ascii.-draw does fit your criteria.

You can also build it yourself if you know how (they list the use of gnome-builder for this).

If flatpak is not an option, then you need to specify what packaging platforms are applicable.

Pretty sure KDE Plasma lets you change just about anything in the UI and has theme support.

Back in the old days there was UNetBootin. Maybe it still works?

And for Ubuntu there is Wubi.

So my point still stands. You want to break the DRM on those downloads because you want to self-host it, but I still think it would be against their TOS. So in essence you are asking how to break Spotity DRM against their terms.

I would think that downloading songs from Spotify (and breaking DRM) is against their TOS…

You can probably download them for “offline mode”, but you would still need to use the Spotify interface for it.

Am I wrong?

Devin has previously delivered what he says he’s gonna do, so I’m certain this is on it’s way. Might take longer than the Summer Of Code runs for, but it will get there.

I use 2 kinds in my house.

Aqara Smart Plugs. Zigbee based, runs from the ZHA integration, has control and monitoring built in. Only does up to 10A. Well known brand. Nous A1Z Smart Plugs. Same as the Aqara, but smaller, handles up to 16A but the brand is not as known as Aqara.

None of them exists in black as far as I know. I go for the Nous ones going forward, as they are smaller and can handle more power hungry devices.

Hm, it might not be as useful as I thought. Just tried it. It seems it wants to save them as “drawings”, because even though I chose to open in LibreOffice Writer, it opens it in LibreOffice Draw. My bad.

So what is the TrueNAS server doing at this time? Have you checked the logs?

I would image it might be some backup, snapshotting or optimization.

LibeOffice Writer opens pdf’s just fine. Just save it as odt afterwards. Probably can’t do complex pdf’s this way, but in that case you shouldn’t really convert the pdf anyway as it will almost always loose some of the formatting or layout in the process.

Sure, just stating what OP mentioned.

OP stated that a VM is not feasable because of ressources on the PC.

I’m afraid they have to install Windows again, if work is not able to provide a device for this function. I have not heard of any solution for reliable iTunes functionality on Linux. :(

SyncThing? It has no centralized point and syncs with devices when they are online.

Imagine the feeling when “you just click the .exe and everything installs itself” works for everyone but you. It doesn’t matter that downloading executables from random websites is way worse than a proper package manager in pretty much every way.

If this is your aim, you can’t really do that with Linux. Better stick with Windows in this case, as that’s the only place where this works.

Don’t most blog software provide rss feeds?

I know Ghost does, by just adding /rss to the link in question. So you can link to the whole blog, specific tags or even specific posts this way.

So Alpaca still gives functional answers if you turn off your internet connection?
